Female Novel
Chapter 1188
I lowered my head, words stuck in my throat. After thinking for a while, I looked at Valerie and said,"Mom, where is dad?" These words were said unconsciously.
All I could think about was Freya said to me. I didn't realize what I had just called them until thewords left my lips.
Valerie's redden with unshed tears, her face full of surprise and joy. Because she strongly restrainedherself from crying, a few long wrinkles could be seen in the corner of her eyes. She opened hermouth then choked out emotionally, "Arianna, you just..."
She didn't continue her thought, not daring to believe it but also hesitant to ask if what she heardwas right, in case I took it back. Tears flowed out of her eyes and couldn't be suppressed. Shefrantically raised her hand to wipe the tears, but the more tears she wiped, the more tears came out.
All of a sudden, I felt a lump in my throat. Freya's words rang out in my mind, "From the beginningto the end, you're not the only one who's been crying."
Yes, I was not the only one in pain. Although I was
a victim when a mother hurts her child, the child might only hurt in the body, but the mother hurts inthe heart.
I looked at her, smiled, and repeated, "Mom, where is dad?"
Valerie smiled widely, tears streaming down her face. She pointed behind me and said, "Where ishe? Pedro, did you hear what Arianna said just now? She's looking for you!"
After that, she lowered her head and wiped her tears, but her joyful smile could not be suppressed.
I looked back, startled, and saw Pedro holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at me with redeyes and a smile on his face. When he saw me looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong?" His voicewas a little shaky.
I seemed to understand their feeling. When Anne called me mom for the first time, I held her in myarms for a long time. That feeling was even more exciting and precious than any feeling of winninga prize.
I asked, "I want to ask about Hendrix's company."
Pedro smiled and motioned for me to sit down to talk.
He calmed down. Valerie seemed to be very happy. She poured us a glass of lemon water for usand looked at me and said, "Arianna, what do you want to eat later? I'll make it!"
I smiled and said, "Anything!"
She was in a good mood and walked lightly into the kitchen.novelbin
Pedro looked at her back and looked at me helplessly, "She's so happy that you called her mom."
I smiled and waited for him to continue.
"The Roberts Group's situation is a bit complicated, and the public and the government are puttingpressure on him at the same time. We are not able to get involved at present, especially Charles.Once he joins in, we can't explain it clearly. Fortunately, I believe Hendrix's ability is enough tohandle it. You don't have to worry too much. As a listed company, it is near impossible for thecompetitors to collapse it. What's more, only the Milton family can fight against the Roberts Groupnow in Jarold City. The Milton family has always been refusing to join in this market competition, sothese things are all minor conflicts and it won't affect much."
After listening to his analysis, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. "That's fine. Roberts Grouphas become more and more powerful over the years, and they have encountered more trouble.
With Hendrix's ability, he should be able to handle it."
Seeing my expression, he smiled and said, "Arianna, you were obviously worried and still pretendedto ignore him. Why didn't you ask him yourself when he came just now? However, Roberts Group ornot, even a millionaire could go bankrupt. Although these things are not big issues, if Hendrixdoesn't handle them well, it will be a waste of effort. He has had a lot of things to do recently. Child,you two are husband and wife. At this time, you should go to see him and give him more supportand encouragement."
